We were BEST OF BREED AT MONTGOMERY!

I'm still in New York, visiting my grandma.

I came to the states for our Scottish Terrier national. I met with my mom who brought Marko, Ch. Perhaps Sugardaddy who had been in the care and trimming of Bergit Kabel. The first few shows, Marko made the cut, on Sunday at the national Specialty, Marko took Best of Breed under judge Ruth Prehn.

I'm still in shock. His daughter, Afterglow's Hellz Bellz, Belle also won the bred by class at Hatboro the first day, 3rd thenext, 2nd at Devon, and 4th at the national out of a huge class handled by our junior Marla Inman. :-)

Here is some photos that others took and us too.

Niigata Show Results

Goldie was successful, she was Reserve Queen both days, as well as the Rengoten show. I had a lot of fun this show, I helped Hiroshi a lot, he was really busy. I love working with the dogs and training so I did some of this for him. We're gearing up for Saitama, loading up the Airedales and Goldie and off we'll go.

Rebecca

Okay, so I've been busy

Its been a busy past couple of weeks, grooming, working, going to school!!! Uuguhh....

Back on the 9th, Chisato and I packed up for our last trip to Hokkaido for the year. Goldie Group 1 and Reserve Queen, Eric the Airedale was Group 2.

This past weekend we went to Yokohama for a 2 shows in one day event again, the first show it was a bit warm, Goldie was hot, she got Excellent in the Group, but by the second show, she got her wind back and it was cool and raining, she loves the rain! She perked right up and got Reserve Queen!

My new baby Max, whom I'm waiting for a good picture, got Best Baby in Show Again! This is two in a row.

On Sunday we went to a small show up the road closer to my house in Fukushima, Goldie got Reserve Queen again and Max was Reserve Baby King! It was a good weekend. We're gearing up to go to Niigata this weekend, 2 shows, Saturday and Sunday. Will keep you posted.

Photos are in!

Wow, we got a new photographer, he took the photos of Eric when we won the BIS at Sendai last time and he had the photos on display at the show. I was pretty proud! Well he took the photos again and took an excellent photo of Goldie on the final day.

Here it is!

Sendai Show Results

We had a really good weekend, I managed to pack 2 Airedales, 2 Scotties into my van, and traveled the short 4 hours away.....it was a relaxing drive for a change, the 8 and 9 hours drives really wear you down. Anyhow, we had 2 shows in one day the first day, Goldie got Reserve Queen the first show and Queen the second show, and then on Sunday at the bigger show, she was Reserve Queen! Chisato did awesome too, her bitch out of a short break since Asia took 2 Excellents, and Eric won the Group on Sunday! My adopted son is doing so well. :-)

I got my Bagpiper, can't wait to sit down and actually read it, I was surprised at the amount of articles, and such less pictures.....:-) Goldie's were in there, they came out pretty good, considering we're trying to stay on a budget. :-)

Until next time, we're going to Hokkaido this next weekend.

Shizuoka Dog Show Results

Hello, we returned from Shizuoka and can't complain much. The first day, Max, Land Rose JP All Right made his debut in the baby class at just over 4 months old!!! He got a huge trophy and two big ribbons.

And for Goldie, Goldie received the Reserve Best in Show and Queen Title, she is on a roll! :-) This is her 3rd Queen and Reserve Best in Show in two months along with several Reserve Queens. I am so proud and excited over her success.

As of June 30th, she is ranked #1 Terrier in Japan and of course #1 Scottish Terrier with over 1,500 All Breed points and still counting....Congrats mom for breeding such a beautiful bitch!

Hiroshi had a good weekend, he got Queen with Donna the Cairn Terrier on Saturday, and Leo was Reserve King, and then on Sunday Leo and Goldie challenged the BIS together as Hiroshi and I seem to like to do, and this time Leo was Best in Show, I was so happy for Hiroshi and Leo, thanks to Chisato and Jumpei on their excellent preparation Leo looked like the BIS dog that he is. I think he will win a lot more from now on!

Until next time,

Bergit has come and gone!

Bergit came to do her seminar and it was so good to see her. Polo and Eric the Westy were her model dogs and Polo did so well. Bergit complimented his trimming and said I was doing fine. She got to see Max and liked him so I was a bit relieved. Mari took some photos so once I get them up, I'll post a few. I did however get some pictures from the juniors (The Inman kids) from Mom Lisa. Milady (pictured with Bergit) finished her championship after Marla's long hard work on the grooming and Bergit's touch ups. We've got a little break, there aren't any dog shows until the 26 and 27th. We went to Tokyo after the seminar, me and my husband and stayed in Shinagawa. The weather went bad so we stayed in the area, ate TGIFs and went to the Epson Aqua Stadium which was inside the hotel and watched a dolphin show and saw the sealions. There were tons of fish too!

G7 Seminar

Last Sunday Chisato and I went to hot HOT HOT HOT Hokkaido, it was about 31 Celsius and the show ground was on SAND!!! It was so hot, poor Eric the Airedale was dying, we had him wrapped in cool towels but it was so bad. He was able to get Excellent Group and Goldie as well. We didn't push the dogs to their potential as it was a small show and not worth pushing them, Goldie showed well even still but I kept her back in the shade.

We are getting ready tomorrow to drive to Fuji Yoshida City where we are staying. I talked to Hiroshi and Bergit had just arrived, I spoke to her on the cell phone, she said the flight was good and they are going to a hotel and will rest, she was amazed at how big it was! :-) I can't wait to see her again, she is such a wonderful person.

For those that are attending the seminar, see you on Thursday! :-)

Cookie got a pet clip!

Cookie got a pet clip today! She has never been shaved before but I can not strip anymore, there is no time and she has been hot. She actually looks really pretty and I can see the real body, she seems to like it. She is sleeping a lot now, her 4th birthday is coming this Friday. I am hoping she is pregnant, we did another mating to Polo and hope for a repeat litter like her last, she produced some nice things. Max is getting big! :-)

We're getting ready for Hokkaido this weekend, we have a show on Sunday, Chisato will come along with me, and I'm so glad, I enjoy her company and we can talk about the dogs.

Rebecca

Its been a busy month!

Hi,

Just returned from vacation in Tokyo with my husband. I have some news and results from the shows the week before and this past weekend.

Polo - Hokkaido on 23 July - Excellent in Group and NEW CHAMPION! Now he is retired from Japan show ring and will relax for a while.

Goldie - 29 July - There were two shows in Morioka, she was Excellent in Group at the first show in the rain, and then she was Queen under Mr. Kimura the second show!

30 July - She went to Hirosaki and was Excellent in the Group. Thank you Chisato, Shige, and Junko for helping me out so much!

Not much else at the moment, catching up on school work and keeping the dogs groomed up.

P.S. Here is a picture of the new baby, Max, Land Rose JP All Right! He is my husband's new puppy, he got to name him.

Morioka Show Results

This past weekend, Goldie was Reserve Queen under Judge Mr. Uryu. It was a bit hot so I had to keep her cool but she held up and showed wonderfully. Chisato showed Eric the Airedale and he got Excellent Group in the males out of a pretty large group.

Rebecca

Hokkaido Weekend Results!

Here's the report for the past weekend. Chisato and I took the ferry from Hachinohe to Tomakomai in the Hokkaido Island. It was a 9 hour trip but easier then driving I think. I got a little sick on the way up, I had Taco Bell, big mistake. :-)

So we went to the Hokkaido regular dog show on Saturday where the MCC cards were given out. Polo was Excellent in Group and got the MCC card, and Goldie was Reserve Queen!!!

On Sunday, I only showed Goldie and she was Group 1 and Reserve Best in Show Queen! Chisato showed Eric the Airedale and he won the Group 1st for the males! :-) I was so happy for Chisato, this is her second Group 1 this year with him!

I'm excited, for this week I'm will be getting a small surprise!

Becca

Reserve Queen and BIS!

We went to show in Yamagata on Saturday, Polo was in hopes of a CC card for his championship, and we had big hopes for Goldie. But this time, judge was liking Polo, and Polo was Best in Show and Goldie Reserve Queen, although this judge loved Goldie so much and I think wanted to give her the Queen but for reasons could not give. I could not believe Polo was winning like this again, it was almost a year since he was winning last Best in Show and never shown again because I wanted Goldie to win. I am very happy, but humble, Polo needs just two more CC's and JKC Ch is finished, then he can relax. Now it is made easier because American champions may show in the small shows.

As soon as I receive pictures, I will post!

Rebecca

Nagano Photos!

Here's Goldie and Becky! Goldie likes to sleep while waiting on the table, she was caught on camera!! Everyone that knows Goldie, is used to seeing this. :-) Thank you to Fumiko and her husband for photos from Becky!

Group 1 and a New Champion! Nagano FCI Results!

Polo is now the proud Sire of two Japanese champions, his second finished this weekend at the Nagano FCI Show with a Winners Bitch and Major CC. New JKC Ch. Brotherhood JP Lil' Devil, aka Becky finished and RCACIB as well. BOB on the male side was Int.CH. Orthopaedic JP The Dignified One, "Daniel", Goldie's counterpart and he went on to Group 3.

Goldie was BOB and went on to a crowded Group 1 finish under Judge Mori-san. He has given her a Group 1st before, but almost a year ago. Here is a picture to share that was taken by GoodLuck Web.

Fumiko was very happy, she is Becky's owner. We also did a group photo with Goldie, Polo, Cookie, Gina, and Becky, it should be a cute photo. :-)

Rebecca

Some Photos!

As I surfed the net, I found some pictures of me and Goldie, candid photos, courtesy of e-inu.com and the Borzois. Also, my friend took photos at Hachinohe, with some nice photos of Eric and Becky! We are preparing for Nagano this weekend, a big FCI, I have yet to win BOB, this is a challenge for me, but it is always big competition for us. :-) I will do my best and win fair and honest!

Weekend results!

Chisato and I went to Akita and on Saturday Chisato showed Eric and got an Excellent. On Sunday Goldie was Group 1st!

In the states, Goldie's sister was Award of Merit at the Washington State Specialty and her son was Reserve Winners Dog. And in Canada his brother Dante was Winners Dog, Best of Breed and Group 3 under Jim Reynolds, the BIS judge from Westminster at a Terrier Show!

Anna was also BOB the rest of the weekend each day! So go Polo kids!

Then I took Goldie to Sendai, hopped on an airplane and went to the Chubu Union Show and Goldie received Group 1! I'm tired, have to go now, but will write more soon! Here is Eric and me!
